**Official** Star Wars at DHS, Galactic Spectacular Dessert Party/Galactic Nights/Launch Bay/JT

[cmarsh31]

My bad here...I assumed the 11-year-old was the child PLUS 3 other adults. I didn't think 2 kids (one charged as an adult) and 2 adults. Sorry for causing confusion all around.

Definitely no big deal! Everything was posted so fast in the excitement of the moment of ACTUALLY getting what I needed before I had to do FPs! Sorry for the unclear post!

I'm beyond frustrated now --- over 30 minutes on the phone with a CM who clearly had no idea what i was talking about... finally had her searching for the right thing and her first comment was "oh that date is sold out already" I read the message that appears when you try to book something that is sold out "no tables available" and that the message we're seeing is different (she confirmed that's what she is seeing as well) Ok, then perhaps it's a special event? No, she isn't showing that and has no idea -- put me on hold "he**" the music was caught in a Small World loop, shoot me now!---

Her final answer? "You should keep checking everyday right up till you're here it might open up" about as helpful as the suggestion to have only our son go since it's to celebrate his 30th. When i asked how that would be possible if i can't even book for one i swear i heard her shrug!

it is very strange that a particular date is having problems. I'm sorry

And DHS calendar parks hours have changed. Closing at 8pm with SWaGS at 7:45pm

Post 11 on page one has been updated
For those wondering, with F! being at 7pm and SWaGS being at 7:45pm the questions is can I do both? the answer is that it will be very hard to find a good spot and you will likely have 3 thousand people trying to do the same.

This post rocks! I booked for 4 on 2/4. I've been waiting and waiting! My DH is so happy! Now I need to fix my FP for that day. I thought it would be later. The party is at 6:15.

Sorry if this has been asked already but I just noticed that NYE star wars fireworks have a NYE enhancement on them. Does anyone have any info on how it's different.

Trying to decide where I want to be to film the nye fireworks.

If SWaGS is at 7:45 and lasts 12 minutes, I assume that it would be easy to make it to Club Villain by 8:15. Right?

Not sure where you are seeing "NYE enhancements" that I know of the show will be the same

I went back to the website, it's a NYE version of the desert party that I saw, not the show... Sorry for my distraction.

I reported on this calendar change about 1 month ago, but here's another heads up. If you are coming for SW Celebration in April, DHS might be putting on a special after hours event 4/14. Only day that DHS closes at 7pm (all other days they close at 8pm) and there is no Fantasmic that night

That's the date of the 501st dinner. Guess we'll miss whatever it is.

Thanks everyone, managed to book on our preferred date in January. Thought about the tour, but for essentially only the easier Jedi Training enrolment it's a pretty big uncharge. Happy to try our luck on that separately.

Glad everyone enjoyed Rogue One. Saw it a few days ago here in Australia, I liked it better than the last one.

Now, to figure out whether or not the Wishes dessert party is worth it lol...

My friend @The Sunrise Student finally got the new MB, here are pics

If you don't like to grab a seat early or stand with the masses shoulder to shoulder it's worth every penny.

If you don't mind grabbing food, sitting down to get your spot, and won't be upset as people squeeze in until and even during the show then you'll be fine. If this will upset you, buy the dessert party.

That's the date of the 501st dinner. Guess we'll miss whatever it is.

Although, depending on the nature of the event one might be able to do the dinner, then uber/taxi to DHS. For example, if it's extra hours then it's simply come as you please event, rather than specific timed event. Also, so many folks weren't able to get tickets to the 501st dinner, this could be a really nice treat for fans that want to do something together without having to reserve a restaurant/bar/etc.

Booked January 9th dessert party for 3!

I wasn't lucky enough to get a star wars tour today. The CM said they were sold out in two hours. I did get a dessert party for the 3rd though. After reading through this board it looks like this is the best plan.

6:15 Dessert Party

Arrive at least by 6 (maybe 5:30?)
Leave for the fireworks at 7 for a 7:45 show?

It seemed people were leaving about 45 minutes before the fireworks to get the best spots. Does this seem like a good plan?

I think leaving at 7pm is a bit extreme, you could leave at 7:15pm for a spot at the front rope, also a lot of people have been enjoying the JBJB party until the end and just hanging all the way back at the viewing location with great results, since people tend to try and move forward

 

[yulilin3]

Star Tours finally went back to random trips yesterday. I'm going today and will ride it 2 times. Also checking out the addition to the Galaxy Far Far Away show

Lots of folks aren't able to attend the 501st Legion dinner because it's for members only. I hope they do it, but doubt they do because they need all of the capacity and public hours they can get. If they were smart, they would announce this right after New Years for folks to book. They will probably do it like two weeks before for Celebration hard ticket event.
